[Bug 1443052] [NEW] User accounts login history showing incorrect history

 

Public bug reported:

I have found that in "System Settings > User Accounts" that if you
select an account and then select the button called "History" (which is
meant to show the login history for that account), it will show you when
you last logged in as "Session Started", but it will show that you
"Session Ended" just before you login the next time.

To clarify what I mean, let's say that yesterday I logged into my
account on this machine at 14:29, and then sometime near 23:00 I logged
out, and then this morning I logged into my account somewhere around
11:20, it will show this:

        Yesterday, 14:29 Session Started
        Today 11:19 Session Ended
        Today 11:20 Session Started

So it assumes that the last session ended when you log into a new one,
so the bug seems to be that it does not log when a session ends
properly, and only logs it when a new session starts.

I have attached a screenshot to show my example as I see it in the
History GUI.

This bug was also present when I was using 14.04.
